3 At the prompt, make sure that all data input and output has
stopped. Click Yes to continue.
When the system determines that it can reconfigure the library
using the saved image, a message dialog box appears that informs
you that the library will reboot itself. The reset could take minutes to
complete. If you are near the library and can see the library’s touch
screen, normal behavior is when two “working” messages appear
and the touch screen goes dark when the LMC server restarts. From
the remote client, a message appears that indicates that the LMC
server is reconnecting to the client. After it reconnects, the LMC
server performs a discovery.
As the MCB reboots, the I/O blades, MCB, LMC server, and robotics
control unit (RCU) change to the configuration settings stored in the
rescue image. Each I/O blade is also reset.
When the LMC has restarted, reconnected, and completed its
discovery operation, a message appears that indicates that the
library has been restored to its previous configuration.
If the operation succeeds, a message appears that indicates that the
operation completed successfully.
If the operation fails at any point, the library generates a RAS ticket
that contains details about the failure. Perform a revert or rescue
operation to return the library to a stable configuration.
4 If you have not done so already, make sure that the robotics are
enabled and bring the library back online so that data input and
output can recommence.
Reverting Library Configuration
If a restore or rescue operation fails before completion, it can cause the
library to become unstable. The Revert command allows you to roll back
the partial configuration changes that occurred during the attempted
restore or rescue. The Revert command will only be available if a revert
image has been saved. A Revert image is saved the first time a restore or
rescue operation is attempted.
1 Log on as an administrator from the remote client or from the
library’s touch screen. Click the CONFIG button on the LMC toolbar.
The Save and Restore Library Configuration dialog box appears.
